February 1G.-Yesterday, the special
commission appointed by the County
court in September, consisting of VIM.
Il. Rosebrook of Brighton, j. NJ. Dodge
of Lunenburgh, and Geo. L. Ramsey
of Lexington, met at the Stetson
House to listen to the evidence in the
case of Town of Norton, petitioner, vs..
Canaan, Averill, and the State of YER
mont. Briefly stated, it was petition
for aid from the State in maintaining
the road from the Stetson House to the
Averill mills. Hon. Jerry Dickerman
and Col. Mansur appeared for Norton,
Hon. Geo. N. Dale for Canaan, and
Hon. Il. d. Hale for the State. The
hearing occupied the Iuost of the day,
many witnesses being examined. The
commission will report at the ensuing
March term of court. We expect they
will give us State aid, as it appeared
from the evidence to come within the
Statute of 1884 providing for such.

Our package of papers, usually re-

not reach us this week until 1 O'Clock
Saturday morning, which will account

as we did. An all nights session work
